Hirakawa Hewtech reported a robust 24.7% jump in net sales to ¥38.4 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, with operating profit nearly doubling and ordinary profit up 81.4%, although profit attributable to owners fell 18.9% due to non-operating factors. Total assets climbed to ¥56.7 billion and equity remained high, while operating cash flow stayed solid and the annual dividend was raised to ¥47 per share with a further increase to ¥53 forecast, underscoring continued emphasis on shareholder returns.

For fiscal 2027, the company forecasts net sales of ¥43 billion, modest growth in operating and ordinary profit, and a sharp rebound in profit attributable to owners to ¥3.4 billion, implying a 107% increase and a significant rise in earnings per share. This guidance suggests management expects earnings normalization after the latest year’s dip in bottom-line profit, supporting both the higher dividend policy and the company’s positioning for steady expansion in its markets.
